MIl light comes on as a result of any fault with the engine's Euro functioning. It can be any of the sensors or the heated oxygen sensor or even the ERG valve. When the MIL comes on cranking the engine wont help but sometimes when the fault is minimal, the engine may start but it wont be smooth. Also, the pollution norms wont be met. It is best to carry the vehicle to a local mechanic who has an Euro On board testing tool to decode the error, which is stored in the ECM of the car. Dears, Check the relays specially fuel pump relay ...for sure
i had the very same problem on my 1999 matiz,it was a broken wire on the fuel injector.(i'd changed the distributor cap,fuel filter,plugs etc before finding out it was this)hope this helps.
Light should come on for 4 secs and then go off. If it stays on or doesn't come on at all then you have a problem.
check oil pressure with a gauge possible bad pump or engine is tired
There are many features that come standard on a Matiz. Features that come standard on a Matiz include front head restraints, body color bumpers, full wheel covers, and dual airbags.
You need to hook an OBD II code scanner up to the car to clear the light. Auto parts places will check your car for free and tell you what made the light come on in the first place. If you don't fix the problem, the light will more than likely come back on.
No, the check engine light does not come on because your gas is half way full. The check engine light will come on if there is a problem with the engine.
12.4 gallons and your light should come on at 1.5 gallons
there is a power button on your shifter for extra power
Some fault codes which cause the warning light to come on will clear themselves after a certain number of ignition sequences if the fault is no longer occurring. Give it a week or two and the light may clear. Failing that buy a code reader on eBay for about £20. You'll need a OBD II reader. You can clear the codes with it if you want. Of course you should fix the cause of the fault as well! May not be so simple . I bought such a reader and it does not give any info .Matiz seems to be a bit of a one off .tread carefully or you will be £20+ worse off and non the wiser. If you do or have cracked it please post type of scanner used.
No the check engine light will not come on
If an check engine light does not come on it is a good thing. When your check engine light comes on, it means you need service done on your vehicle.
If it has a downstream O2 sensor the check engine light will come on but if it does not the light may not come out. In most instances it will set the check engine light.
